South Africa December 2002


Photocredit: All photos below were taken by the able Christian Black.


In December 2002 the whole Flexifoil team descended on Cape Town, South Africa. 
The objective was three weeks of non-stop R&D and photo shooting of: 


The new Storm II.. the ultimate down the line wave riding machine...


AND of course the new Blade III:


This shot needs something of a mention. On the beach the windmeter
was reading around 4.5 knots with peaks of 7.5 knots. 
The kite is a prototype light wind Blade 3. The wind then picked up 
to 10 knots and I had to come in as I was maxed... 
Put it like this... I am looking forward to summer breezes!


Blade III: 8.5 prototype.


Effortless finger tip control... on land.... 

and on sea.....


..here my bar is catching some rays while I stop for a lunch break in paradise...

...lunch break over....


Blouberg Strand with the 6.6 Blade III.

..another kind of surfing.. top to bottom...
..only to be attempted after an "all the sushi you can eat" night 
at the Blowfish Restaurant, Blouberg...... not.
